Tropical Storm Elias (1950)

Tropical Storm Elias, also known as Subtropical Storm Elias, was the 5th named storm of the 1950 Hurricane Season.

History
A weak storm system moved off of Florida and developed into a highly disorganized storm. It was debated whether or not to name the storm because to some the system seemed extratropical, therefore not meeting the criteria. However, the system was exhibiting both tropical and extratropical traits. Therefore, the National Weather Service proceeded to name the storm Elias as a subtropical storm. Elias only lasted 2 days as a disorganized system barely meeting tropical storm criteria before dying out over Texas.
